Privacy Notice

This notice describes what information the privately operated Shawano County Busted Mugshots service receives, why it may be used, and the choices available to visitors. By using the service, a visitor accepts these practices.

Information Received

Search terms entered into an embedded search tool are sent to that third-party provider. A message submitted through a contact method may contain a name, email address, and the content supplied by the sender. The service may also receive routine technical information such as browser type, device details, IP address, referring page, pages viewed, and approximate location inferred from an IP address. Cookies and similar technologies may be used by the service or its providers.


How Information Is Used

Information may be used to operate and secure the service, respond to a message, measure performance, troubleshoot, improve content, prevent misuse, and show or measure advertising. Search queries are handled under the applicable third-party provider's practices. The service does not use a contact message to create an official Shawano County booking or court record.


Cookies and Controls

Cookies can remember settings, measure traffic, support advertising, and help diagnose technical issues. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, though some functions may not work as expected afterward. Choices offered by advertising or analytics providers are governed by those providers' own tools and notices.


When Information May Be Shared

Information may be shared with search partners, hosting and analytics providers, advertising networks, professional advisers, and service vendors that help operate the service. It may also be disclosed when required by a lawful subpoena, court order, or other legal process, or when reasonably needed to protect rights, safety, or the service. External links, including links to Wisconsin public offices and custody tools, are governed by the privacy practices of their operators.


Security and Retention

Reasonable administrative and technical steps are used to protect information, but no internet transmission or storage system is fully secure. Information is kept only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose described here, for operational records, or as required by law.


Children and Data Choices

This service is not directed to children under 18, and it does not knowingly seek their personal information. A person may ask about personal information that was submitted through a direct contact channel, including a request to access, correct, or delete it where applicable. A request may be subject to identity verification, legal obligations, and technical limits.


Policy Updates

This notice may change as the service, legal obligations, or provider practices change. The revised version applies when posted. Wisconsin public-record access rules, including Wis. Stat. §§19.31–.39, govern public offices separately and do not make this private service a government records custodian.
